Fouquet’s Mykonos opened on Paraga Beach on 27 June 2026, and its most notable feature is the Rock Spa. It is a floor of stone, water and light where hyperbaric oxygen, a dry float bed and cold held between 4 and 6°C are the main subject, not an extra. The house is the first in Greece from the hotel group Groupe Barrière, with 60 suites and 3 villas on the southern shore of the island. It is arranged around the one department most hotels treat as a courtesy.
The setting
The house stands on Paraga Beach, southern Mykonos, between Paraga and Paradise beaches, with the water directly below. The ground is rock, not sand, and the architecture works with it: the spa, the court and the pools are cut into the stone. Inside the spa is an indoor pool of tempered water. That is rare on an island where hotels have been built around outdoor life for half a century.
Where it comes from
Fouquet’s Mykonos is the fifth address in the Fouquet’s collection, after Paris, New York, Courchevel and Saint-Barthélemy, and the first house Groupe Barrière has opened in Greece. The Yoda Group developed it, and Barrière runs it under a management agreement. Grégory Rabuel, the group’s chief executive, has described the opening as part of the company’s international growth. The Fouquet’s name has belonged to the Champs-Élysées in Paris since the nineteenth century, a long way from the Aegean.
The design
The architect is Kydoniatis Architects, and the interiors are by Divercity Architects with Variation Studio. The style is Cycladic and restrained, with clean lines, natural materials and rooms that open to the light and the sea. The boldest feature is underground: a basketball half-court built to official NBA standards, carved into a sand-coloured cavern in the rock and reached by pale stone steps. Suites have private pools and terraces above the water, and an infinity pool faces the horizon.
The restaurants
Éole, beside the main pool, serves Greek and Mediterranean food, from breakfast through meze (small shared dishes) to dinner. ROKA Mykonos brings contemporary Japanese food and its robatayaki grill, where food is cooked over charcoal, down to the sand. It serves tables, cabanas, sunbeds and the edge of the pool. Le Bar serves the cocktails and the smaller plates.
The spa
Barrière describes the Rock Spa as a space for regeneration shaped by stone, water, oxygen, heat and light, drawing on the mineral character of the Cyclades. The equipment follows that description closely.
The longevity floor has an AirPod mHBOT chamber, a gentle form of hyperbaric oxygen that raises the supply of oxygen to the cells by as much as 50 per cent. A Zerobody Dry Float bed holds the body above heated water without the body touching it. A Zerobody Cryo cabin holds a temperature of 4 to 6°C for muscle recovery. There is an inhalation of molecular hydrogen, intended to support the body’s antioxidant defences and ease fatigue. There is also photobiomodulation, meaning light at specific wavelengths, for skin vitality and recovery.
Around these is the water: a Finnish sauna, a steam bath, a Mediterranean bath, a sensory shower, a room the house calls Water Paradise, and the indoor pool for lap swimming. The treatment menu draws on two houses: the molecular skincare science of Dr Barbara Sturm and the Mediterranean holistic rituals of Germaine de Capuccini. Movement takes place on the same floor, with Technogym Artis equipment, a room for yoga and Pilates reformer, and the stone court beyond.
The house has combined all of this into a Rock Spa Day Journey, over half a day or a full day. It brings together the water circuit, the longevity treatments and a signature facial in one sequence. It reads more like a clinic’s protocol than a hotel spa menu, and that is its purpose.
The address
Paraga has long been quieter than the beaches that made the island famous, and the house makes good use of that. A sea taxi runs every hour from midday until 10pm along the coast to Scorpios and Nammos, so an evening out is a short crossing instead of a drive. Mykonos has never lacked beauty or good restaurants, and a house built around hyperbaric oxygen and cold therapy gives guests another reason to come, and to stay longer.
Who is this for
The Rock Spa suits a guest who wants structured recovery days on Mykonos, with the beach and the evening still close at hand. Suites open through full-height glass to a terrace and the sea, under timber ceilings. Some junior suites have shaded terraces and private pools behind dry-stone walls, and the terrace bungalows sit a few steps from the water, with sunbeds on a private terrace. In the arrival court, a large woven-metal sculpture of two hands stands beside potted plants under a timber pergola.
